The first comprehensive history of squash in the United States, Squash incorporates every aspect of this increasingly popular sport: men's and women's play, juniors and intercollegiates, singles and doubles, hardball and softball, amateurs and professionals. Invented by English schoolboys in the 1850s, squash first came to the United States in 1884 when St. Paul's School in New Hampshire built four open-air courts. The game took hold in Philadelphia, where players founded the U.S. Squash Racquets Association in 1904, and became one of the primary pastimes of the nation's elite. Squash launched a U.S. Open in 1954, but its present boom started in the 1970s when commercial squash clubs took the sport public. In the 1980s a pro tour sprung up to offer tournaments on portable glass courts in dramatic locales such as the Winter Garden at the World Trade Center. James Zug, with access to private archives and interviews with hundreds of players, describes the riveting moments and sweeping historical trends that have shaped the game. He focuses on the biographies of legendary squash personalities: Eleo Sears, the Boston Brahmin who swam in the cold Atlantic before matches; Hashim Khan, the impish founder of the Khan dynasty; Victor Niederhoffer, the son of a Brooklyn cop; and Mark Talbott, a Grateful Dead groupie who traveled the pro circuit sleeping in the back of his pickup. A gripping cultural history, Squash is the book for which all aficionados of this fast-paced, exciting game have been waiting.

Excerpt from Racquets, Tennis, and Squash Conscientious teachers of elementary things are a mystery or even an abomination to the genius, who does not realise that his own exquisite skill must possess not only the outward and visible signs, that inimitable blending of dignity, power, and gracefulness, but also certain imitable foundations, even if these latter parts of his play be (as foundations love to be) least appar ently important. To the genius it seems mere waste of time to analyse a complex whole - to him the stroke is a single organism - into many simple parts, and to explain the why and the whereby; the function of each part, and the way of manufacturing each part by accurate and attentive effort. To the genius it seems sufficient that the Clock is a clock and can be wound up with one small key. Why take the works to pieces? Why spoil a beautifully harmonious unity by describing its mechanism - its spring and wheel, its pendulum and escapement? Why? Because we want to find out and to be able to alter the parts which compel the Clock to keep poor time and to work altogether badly. Otherwise we might for ever gaze at the skilful and unskilful players side by side, and continue in vain to urge the latter to rise to the standard of the former.
